This reserve is a haven for wildlife and nature lovers, featuring a variety of habitats including woodland, grassland, and wetlands. The site is home to a range of flora and fauna, including rare species such as the great crested newt and the green-winged orchid. Visitors can explore the reserve's trails, including a boardwalk that winds through the wetlands, and enjoy scenic views of the surrounding countryside. The reserve also features a pond, a woodland garden, and a community orchard, making it a peaceful and diverse destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
A nice break away from the standard dog walking over fields and parks, this nature reserve is well-maintained whilst not being too designed. It feels safe, calm and is a gentle stroll away from the roads. It also has access up steps to the Midsomer Norton Railway. It is quite small though, so not suitable for those looking to give their dog(s) a good run out.
A great explore and well looked after nature reserve with proper pathways been added over the past few years to make it easier and safer to walk through although some of the nature reserve has got step free pathways it's not all the way threw. There it lots of little trails to cut threw and see where they end up. There is also a few interesting things to see and lots of wildlife to look out for. There is benches and some bins around to take a break and enjoy the nature reserve. I was impressed how it's looked after and with little to none litter laying about it's a very enjoyable place to visit although after wet days some parts are muddy so wear appropriate footwear. The only downside when I visited was the amount of dogs off lead's I encountered as I was walking around I got no problems with dogs off lead's especially in the field next to the nature reserve but in the nature reserve the dogs that was running about was coming from places unexpectedly and you couldn't see wear the owners was wich made me a bit uncomfortable other than that it's a nice place to visit.
Midsomer Norton is very lucky to have this area, it is a great place for a little stroll through the woodland with the kids or dog. There are well maintained pathways, seating areas, a pond and an adjacent field. There are occasional events here and these are detailed on the notice board as you enter the reserve. Although its fairly small, the layout makes it feel larger and there are lots of nooks and crannies to explore. Well done to all the volunteers that keep it well maintained.
We didn't know it was there & I've lived in this area all my life. It's beautiful & peaceful walking through it.
Great place for a walk, wooded area with paths and water basins as well as open field. A lot of dog walkers so good for socialising your puppy
A nice 'inner city' style walking area. Shame that there is currently fuel spillage in the river but there was lots of signage around which was very helpful as otherwise our dog would have been in! A large field & meadow which is great for ball throwing/picnics. I was surprised to see a deer! A lovely surprise.
Wheelchair-accessible car park
